Swan Bay

 

One mission today!  Done!!   Team straight to the top!!!Cool

Its not very often that all things line up, and i didn't think today was going to be that day. All my new gear was sent last week and disappeared of the face of the earth just as the forecasts were getting really good this week, then this morning at 9:30, it  just all appeared, Nice!, Managed to get out on the Maui TR8  6.3 this arvo. Really really happy with the sails, they rig beautifully, and hold a really nice shape, only did minimal adjustments to the sails and they felt very nice, so in time with a few tweaks and a bit more tuning I think we are going to do wonderful things, my main concern was the smaller sails 5.5 and 4.7, often the shape in the smaller part of the ranges is overlooked a little, not here I rigged the 4.7 this arvo on the lawn and I couldn’t be happier, perfect!.  hopefully get to try them out at Sandy on the weekend.

Fun in the sun at Swan Bay ...

After a week of hanging s*@t on Jacques for not having in sails got the call today that they had arrived and after some household chore got down to swan bay to see jacques out cruising on his new Maui Sails TR's.. They look great!. Rigged the Koncept 6.4m and slogged out to join him..

Super hide tide today made for some interesting sailing and we explored a few different areas but found a nice little flat section over weed beds Lake George style. Played for a while and came in for some refreshments..

The SA speed demons are notorious for their port ... we pigged out on a pack of choc donuts! Could be the key?

Went back out and tried to rack of the Km and by the end of the day was well and truly knackered!!!

Isonic 86, KA Koncept 6.4m, FO Weedster 28cm..

Will type more when my hands work again!

No good jas!! thats no place to put your head. Not sure who would be the closest to you to fix your sail, maybe put something on seabreeze, someone on there might be able to help you.
